Give a normalized version of the Index_metadata relation, and explain why using the normalized version would result in worse performance.
Assume that a student table in a university database had index on StudentID (the primary key) and indexes on Major, Age, MaritalStatus, and HomeZipCode (all secondary keys). Further, assume that the university wanted a list of students majoring in MIS or computer science, over age 25, and married OR students majoring in computer engineering, single, and from the 45462 zip code. How could indexes be used so that only records that satisfy this qualification are accessed?

- The InstantRide Management team founded a new team for car maintenance. The new team is responsible for the small maintenance operations for the cars in the InstantRide system. The main idea is to take actions faster and minimize the time spent for the maintenance. Therefore, the Car Maintenance team wants to store MAINTENANCE_TYPE_ID (char(5)) and a MAINTENANCE_TYPE_DESCRIPTION (varchar(30)) in the database. Using MAINTENANCE_TYPE_ID as the PRIMARY KEY, create a new table, MAINTENANCE_TYPES, and send the table description with the column names and types to the Car Maintenance team.arrow_forwardSuppose that the department relation DEPARTMENT (dnumber, dname, mgr_ssn, start_date) has 1000 record stored in 200 blocks.

A hash index on dnumber with a hash function f(x)=x mod 10 A secondary index on dnumber with 4 levels with the number of blocks in the first level is 50.

- The CVT Company is a leader in the manufacture of work clothes. You are hired as database administrator for the company and your IT supervisor asked you to solve a retrieval speed problem they used to have with a large file for item records. Your supervisor mentioned that they have sorted the file but the problem didn’t improve, so they need to create a B+ tree index to solve the problem. Your supervisor outlined the way to do it: “The best way to accomplish this task is to scan the file, record by record, inserting each one using the B+ tree insertion procedure.” Being a fresh graduate, you noticed that since the file is already sorted there is a better way to do it. What performance and storage utilization problems are there with your supervisor’s approach?
